TL;DR
If you thought mixed reviews were abnormal, most DLC's are skewed towards the negative side of things on Steam. Besides, most of the complaints are simply in the realm of difficulty but that is just all the more fulfilling in my opinion.
The consensus are that the damage is too high and not that there are any problem with the enemies themselves. Therefore, i would just give it the go-ahead to buy the Shadow of the Erdtree!

But i shrug at it as i revel in difficult games, just for the sheer amount of accomplishment that you get to experience for overcoming something of epic proportions. Although, you can still grow a taste for it, assuming do you not just rush through the process and put yourself under a huge time-constraint. it is about taking your time, owing to that it isn't like it can be done in a fixed-amount of time, you can either delay or speed it up by being less or more cognizant—to what exactly you are doing: As the saying goes, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.
